chesilbeach Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 "They tried to set you up with him and you said no?" Dena sounded incredulous "I was dating Simon."

Sedge Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 He moved down the slopes of the Urals slowly and deliberately, and began the tiring journey through the headlands of the Pechora, a route he clearly knew towards an objective he had often thought of returning to: the prehistoric denning ground of the ancient Pechora pack. As he approached, a watching wolf (and there was one) would have seen that his bulk was deceptive: he was more than bulky, he was huge. His fur was dark and shaggy, in places patchy from fights long since forgotten; his face was so scarred and torn about the eyes that one of them seemed a shade higher and wider than the other which, with the permanent frown he had, made it seem that not only was he thinking about attack, he had just decided to launch one.

Sedge Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It took a while longer to obtain from Hakins the place where Ryan was to hide up, and by that time it was much too late to do anything further until next day. All through the night the blizzard swept over the outpost, and the wind howled in fury, piling the snow up against the shacks that made up the one main street. Faintly in the wind was heard the distant calling of wolves, but nobody troubled overmuch.

pipread Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Another Tarot tradition. Many people believe you should never buy a deck of cards for yourself.

Peacefield Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I saw the white hair first. A thin young man, about the same age as the punt touters, but looking old before his time, his hair worn to his shoulders, so that it blew slightly in the wind as he leaned against the metal of the bridge, flanked on either side by Japanese tourists taking photographs. He wore no hat and his university gown was scarlet, not the usual black. Ghostwalk - Rebecca Stott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amethyst Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The will to live is so strong that given the choice of two deaths one will alays choose the one that buys more time even if it is a matter of seconds. People will jump to their death from a burning building rather than burn with it. For in those few seconds of accelerating flight the god that refused to save them from the fire might still reach down from heaven and bring them to earth alive.

If he himself were to wed, though....

poppy Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 It's lips were thin and ascetic, and it's eyes were a demon's eyes: they had seen too much and gone too far, and under their gaze he felt less important than a fly. 'What happens now?' he asked. 'Now,' said the demon, in a voice that carried with it no sorrow, no relish, only a dreadful flat resignation, 'you will be tortured.'

Ilona Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 "To keep our practice in its pure form is our purose.

jankensan Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Only after inspectors discovered the ruse did Mitsubishi begin to deal with the suspected problems, recalling over 700,000 cars for defects including bad brakes, fuel leaks, and failing clutches. A similar scandal arose in June 2000 at giant milk producer Snoe Brand, whose tainted milk poisened 14,000 people, as the result of careless sanitation procedures that had gone unchecked for decades. At Tokai's nuclear plant, Mitsubishi Motors, and Snow Brand, no worker or manager ever drew attention to a situation dozens or even hundreds of people must have been aware of for many years.
